"So, is the system now prompting us to find the recipe for making mackerel head?" Ji Xiaoyue understood the hint and was immediately full of interest: "Actually, this is also a good thing, if we can really learn how to make such a delicious one Shark Head, when you leave the dungeon in the future, you can take the secret recipe and open a shop by yourself."
Luo Mianmian held a small parasol in one hand and a puppet in the other. After sizing up Ji Xiaoyue, she sneered: "Your thoughts are really naive. The shark head is something in the copy, how can it be a good thing?"
"I agree with what Luo Mianmian said. To be honest, every time I see a shark head, I subconsciously resist it. I always feel that it is not a good thing." I recalled all the things about the shark head. , Tao Nai couldn't help but feel another turmoil in his stomach.
When Ji Xiaoyue saw both Tao Nai saying this, she raised her hand nervously and pushed up her glasses: "Don't scare me..."
"What exactly is going on, we have to wait until we go to the Deep Blue Restaurant to find out." Shang Ming said, walking towards the library door first.
The Deep Blue Restaurant is not far from the library. When Tao Nai and the others sneaked into the restaurant, there was still one hour and fifty minutes left before three hours.
Because it was not yet the opening time of the Dark Blue Restaurant, the front hall of the restaurant was dark. The heavy curtains almost completely blocked out the outside sunlight, giving the entire restaurant a somewhat gloomy color.
Recalling the strange look of the diners in the restaurant when he sat here to eat last time, Tao Nai saw that there was no one here except for them, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Since we want to investigate, shouldn't we go first?" kitchen?"
"But we are easily spotted when we are dressed like this. I think it is better to look for a staff room or something like that and at least change clothes first." Ji Xiaoyue said, giving Luo Mianmian a deep look. .
In fact, the three of them were dressed very ordinary, including Luo Mianmian, whose style of dressing was too eye-catching.
"Then let's look for them separately." Shang Ming said, taking the lead to walk to the left.
Tao Nai also walked towards the left.
Separating from Shang Ming one by one, Tao Nai searched carefully, only to find that the longer he stayed here, the stronger the fishy smell became.
The smell was so pungent that it lingered around Tao Nai's nose, making her feel nauseous.
Just when Tao Nai felt like her nose was about to be smoked off, footsteps suddenly sounded from the dark corridor behind her.
Snap, snap.
The strange footsteps did not sound like normal people, but rather like someone wearing water-filled leather shoes, walking unevenly one foot at a time, slowly approaching her direction from the darkness.
Intense fear climbed up Tao Nai's back like invisible hands, and her body couldn't help but start to tremble.
Without saying a word, she lifted up the snow-white tablecloth covering the dining table next to her and quickly got under the table.
Snap, snap, snap.
The sound of that person's footsteps got closer and closer, and a stronger and pungent fishy smell hit her. As Tao Nai's breathing slowly penetrated into her lungs, her breathing became more difficult.
Through the gap in the tablecloth, Tao Nai saw the humanoid monster.
The skin all over his body was pitch black, as if he was wearing a rubber suit that was too small, so that all the flesh on his body was squeezed into a ball. The pieces of flesh glowed with a strange sheen, and the mucus on them followed his footsteps. And when it dripped on the ground, the fishy smell floating in the air came from it.
And the most important thing is that this ghost thing has a pitch-black mackerel head!
Tao Nai was shocked, and suddenly saw the fish's eyes on the shark's head turning and looking at her suddenly.
She quickly put down the tablecloth and covered her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from making any sound. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Tao Nai's back. She didn't dare to move, listening to the patter of footsteps approaching slowly, until she came. Arriving behind her.
Then, she saw the tablecloth move, and the shark-man actually extended its black paw into the table.
Tao Nai didn't dare to make a sound as a strong stench spread across his face.
Cold sweat soaked her clothes, and she couldn't help but lower her head to look, only to find that the five toes of the shark man were stuck together, and dense black fish scales covered his entire sole.
"Thirsty, so thirsty." The shark man suddenly said, accompanied by a tickling sound, as if the fish scales on its body were gradually being scratched off.
The strange yet familiar voice made Pan Yufan's face appear in Tao Nai's mind.
Feeling that his hands and feet were gradually getting colder, Tao Nai didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Another idea suddenly popped into her head.
Why does Deep Blue Restaurant only sell mackerel heads?
Wherever there is a fish head, there is also a fish body. Is it possible that there is something wrong with the body that prevents it from being sold?
For example, the shark-man in front of me clearly has a humanoid body but has a fish head...
The scene of seeing the shark head when she first came to the Deep Blue Restaurant came to mind. Tao Nai finally figured out why she thought the shark head looked so much like a human head.
Because that's not a fish head at all, but a human head!
Just when Tao Nai realized this, the foot beside her suddenly moved.
Tao Nai's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
The terrifying scene that could be imagined did not appear. The shark man slowly retracted his feet, and then slowly walked away as if he was attracted by something.
"Huh..." Tao Nai's whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and he fell limply to the ground.
The horrific scene he had just experienced seemed to still be in front of him. Before Tao Nai could breathe a sigh of relief, the tablecloth in front of him was suddenly lifted.
"Ah!" Tao Nai was startled, and subconsciously clenched his fist, then hit the person in the face hard.
"Ah! It hurts!" The other party screamed and fell to the ground.
Feeling that the other party's voice sounded familiar, Tao Nai's eyes showed doubts, and he turned on the flashlight he carried and looked at the other party.
"Xia Meng? Why is it you?" As soon as Tao Nai said this, Shang Ming, Ji Xiaoyue and Luo Mianmian, who were hiding in other corners of the restaurant, rushed over.
Xia Meng was beaten into panda eyes, and even the glasses on the bridge of her nose fell off, but she didn't care about crying out in pain, her eyes were full of fear: "You saw it, right? You all too You saw Pan Yufan turned into a monster, right?"
"So the fish-man just now was really Pan Yufan?" The guess in his heart came true, and Tao Nai also felt a strange feeling coming over him.
